Week 11 Daily C: Mount Panorama Circuit GR.4

Apparently Mazda is back... didn't see this coming 😨

Gr. 4 does make racing at Bathurst a little easier than gr. 3. Also due to the limitation on car choices you also get to drive other cars than the standard meta's.

I find I can be allergic to Metas.  I must have done 20 laps in the Mazda and couldn't get below 2:13.7.  Switched to the Scirocco and within a couple of laps beat it, ended up with 2:13.2 fairly consistenly.  Back in the Mazda and I was back up to 2:13.7.

I've never driven the FF Gr4 cars before and I have to say I don't particulary enjoy them, but for me the Mazda is defo not the best.  I'll focus on the Scirocco for the rest of the week and see if I can fall in love with them.

This race is fun but only with people you know because otherwise it gets stale and the custom slip makes it too easy to follow around this track especially the uphill.

Absolutely true. If I can I'll try to use something other than the meta car in a race. But sometime, at least as a B-rated driver, it's difficult to be in a different car than the other drivers. Different cars will behave in different ways on the track (braking, accelerating, cornering speed) and not everybody is capable of taking that into account. 

For sure my first choice wouldn't be a FF car in a race, I tend to go for MR cars, but that is way I like it in this weeks race that you have to choose a FF car. This way everybody is in the same boat and you also get to drive the FF cars without suffering the, let's call it different, driving characteristics. 

The custom slip makes it that you really have to work together on this narrow track to get the best out of it. When you find somebody that is willing to do that and not battle all 9 laps it's very enjoyable.

This race can be good if people in your lobby know how to brake into t1, if they don't then you just get punted every single time wothout fail.
